Abstract
A method and device for range limitation and direct tripping for protection in the event of a fault on an electrical power line extending between two stations (P, Q) involves employing a travelling wave model in one of the stations (P) which, with the aid of measured currents and voltages in that station, to calculate the voltage distribution at a number of control points along the line. The range of the protection device is indicated as the distance between the measuring station and that control point for which a voltage difference (.delta.u) becomes equal to zero. The voltage difference consists of the difference between the absolute value of a voltage differene between the absolute value of a voltage difference (.DELTA.u), formed as the sum of a voltage value (U') calculated with the travelling wave model for the control point at a certain time, and the corresponding voltage value (U') one half-period earlier and the absolute value of the latter voltage value. When the voltage difference becomes greater than zero, direct tripping can be initiated.
